has anyone been ever fired due to QL addiction?...just wondering...it must be really important job if for entire day we can sit at the office and discuss "How to determine bird's sex"...for example...
my work day is over...see u tomorrow...ciao
I also know one guy who does exactly the same: he uninstalls them..(he is a computer programming instructor, and was my teacher back home, and now he is in qatar also)... that's why when i come to visit him, i always feel bored.. i always say: "it is such boring place, where all games are uninstalled"...lol....Yep, Vista's games are nice.. BTW, games help me to solve my problems and come up with the solutions.. I reflect upon these issues while playing...walla it helps...
Oh com'on ... you can do better than that :) The first thing that i always do after installing a fresh copy of windows is to remove the games from there, but not windows Vista :) The games there are kinda of cool.

I can see your desktop the same way I'm seeing my fingers typing this one now :) Of course I can, ... opening QL is not an issue ... just stop playing those small games to kill boredom while working. Guess that you have those games in .swf format, that is why you don't need to install them ... you, .. you, ...

that browsing QL would be a problem, my problem is I don't have time and most of the time opening QL and then leave it like that. My job is to block these sort of things according to hmmmm, not me of course I can't be that selfish ... blocking people from using Yahoo Messenger, MSN and visiting specific websites while I can do all of that. It is just the policy ... My job and I love it .... :)

Bird’s sex forum topic just came to my attention at the same time when I came up with my thread… and it was helpful by the way.. . It made a nice combination. Can you imagine a record in someone’s file: “ He (She) got fired due to QL addiction, while discussing determination of bird's sex”…. Ha-ha-ha….thanks Kellys for your interest to birds…lol….
definitely, birds are not in my priority list...sorry..lol...but transexual birds?.. wow ...are there gays among them as well? lol..
Staying beyond office hours gives an indication that you are workaholic and not QLaholic :D
One has to be moderate in everything, specially when it comes to earing our living.
But I wonder why in the world you have selected the example of bird's sex although you did not post anything there, neither did you check the illustration. It is one of two possibilities; either you know how to tell the bird's sex, or you do not care.
One simple and guaranteed way to tell the bird's sex is watch those that lay eggs will indicate the female birds. The rest are doubtful; either immature, males, or transexual birds :)
Oh Qatari , such a genious idea . I did the mistake of telling colleagues how good and useful is Ql, and then everytime they see me in front of my comp screen they start talking about Ql. As if I never do other things on comp ?? ... not totally false though :D
all wives r worried about the male menopause(when men have a fling for younger women). ah! nothing we men cant handle ...No worries bud.Goto go now......
Have a lovely evening QLers.
Life is too short and if u r not living on the edge then u r taking up too much space.
but divorced may b yes.....when I came over to the Orion the other night wifey checked the QL and read the panties for peace thread.......thought I went for the collector items. Had to explain that it was all fun but she knew that some had come wearing a jacket(with extra inner pockets) expecting the same...... Gotto find the mole:))
Life is too short and if u r not living on the edge then u r taking up too much space.
the person we r interviewing if he knows what QL stands for?:) Some of the replies r quite funny. Not b willing to get somebody hooked to QL in my office. Hipocrate thats me! Changed (having my pic) the avatar too.

Not to hijack, but I did a little research into jelly stings, and for some the rash can take up to a month to fade. However! If it's more then a slight rash and if it's still painful you need to go to the doctor.

Just tell them your inquiring about your jellyfish sting, then show it to them.. they will feel sorry for you, they'll probably focer you to an ambulance so get you get it check by a doctor... They will not fire you.. :D
ROFL gypsy...i am now associated with this jellyfish huh..:D i can blab more about my jellyfish sting, but i dont want anyone coming and telling me to shut up again..:P
goinig back with getting fired/deportatin coz of QL..what would it be if i am getting my job done daily (and if im a good multi tasker)..i mean you dont see me posting it means im doing work (defensive?)..

Dont scare me now..It's good that I haven't used my real name here.Even while attending the get togethers,I make sure I see no faces I have seen in the office..haha
That's what I'm waiting for anyway, for them to fire me.. co'z if I quit i have to pay for my own ticket, if they fire me they have to pay for it... LOL :D
I'm constantly on the look out at work..lol...Sometimes I ever wonder if it's the people next to me I'm talking to on QL.....as I've said before, the logo on the top left hand side is too big, people walking past can see it...lol

"why so many QL members can spend so much time here during working time.Here is not allowed and not possible."
It is a part QLers' Job scope.
"Is the working life in Doha so boring or are you all payed just for chatting?"
They paid just for that purpose.
"Uhmmm,then this would be my dream job."
Yes in deed. come to Qatar for your dream Job.
no offence but it looks strange to me.
No. They don't take it as an offence. Infact they take it as compliment. This is absolutly normal for Qatar QL work force.
Oh com'on ... you can do better than that :) The first thing that i always do after installing a fresh copy of windows is to remove the games from there, but not windows Vista :) The games there are kinda of cool.

Some are Wise ... Some are ...Otherwise
In extreme situation (Danger of getting fired) extreme measures are needed
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.

Owen, you're dying from a jellyfish sting and you're worried about being fired for chatting on QL?
"You don't have to like me for who I am but we'll see what you're made of by what you make of me." Ani Difranco
*worried now*...seriously, we could get fired/deported because of QL?
[img_assist|nid=12867|title=Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.|desc= |link=none|align=left|width=44|height=180]
So far no cats have been harmed in my prescense Xena :D That's due in part to Ql and copious consumption of Alcohol. ;)
"You don't have to like me for who I am but we'll see what you're made of by what you make of me." Ani Difranco
It could be coming very soon. And even worse may be up the order.
Not just fired maybe deported even who knows!!!!!!!!!!
did you tell them its what keeps you sane during the day and at night while trying to restrain yourself from throwing dates at the screetching cats?
I've somehow managed to convince everyone that QL is vital to my performance at work.
